Description
Located on the pied de cte (foot of the slope) south of the medieval village of Saint-milion, Chteau Canon La Gaffelire’s terroir consists of clay-limestone and clay-sand soil that is very permeable and particularly efficient at retaining heat.
The choice of grape varieties is rather atypical for the appellation in light of the soil: almost a perfect 50/50 divide between Merlot and Cabernet. The Cabernets ripen early and remarkably well on Canon La Gaffelire’s warm soil, adding power and aromatic complexity to Merlot’s opulence to create wines of natural elegance and finesse.
